Certification Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance of certification requires a yearly statement of annual training and practice. At least 8 hours of training and professional development is necessary as well as 10 hours of elder mediations/co-mediations/coaching opportunities a year.

Note: – The practice guidelines and the process for certification are the result of EMIN’s continuing consultation and collaboration with international mediation associations, researchers and practitioners to establish uniform standards for elder mediators. As a leader in the field of elder mediation, EMIN continually makes changes to the certification process to reflect the growth in the field and emerging trends.
